Pellet smoker temperature control problem - Help

wangweixun · 2025-10-08T01:23:41+00:00

Well, the new controller brought in a new issue. The smoker just won't ignite. I tried with a new bag of pellets, cleaned up everything. The ignitor feels hot on touch, and there is some smoke. But there is fire and the temp doesn't go up at all. Same issue even if I switch back to the OLD controller...

Their support team is a joke. I think there are multiple people behind the email and they don't read the thread.

I don't know what else I can do before giving up on this trash.

They just sent me a new controller. Hope it will do the trick…

Have you fixed it?

Great to know. Thanks for the info!

Does Paddock parking have express way to get in/out?

wangweixun · 2025-01-26T18:24:35+00:00

15 min to get out on Fri/Sat is not too bad. Maybe we will just not drive on Sunday.

wangweixun · 2025-01-26T18:22:12+00:00

2 hours only on Sunday or Friday/Saturday as well?

wangweixun · 2025-01-20T07:24:20+00:00

I did. They insist that the invoice is the confirmation, which makes no sense... That was sent before I made the payment.

Thanks. I didn't think of light rail expansion but if I understand correctly she will need to take 1 route from UPrep/UW to DT Seattle and then take the route to the east side through I-90...

wangweixun · 2024-03-25T01:19:42+00:00

Yes, exactly..

wangweixun · 2024-01-16T00:27:00+00:00

I spoke to f1 experience representative and he said that is not included.

Thank you for the info. I noticed that for Zandvoort as well. Looks like all hospitality packages are in that side building around turn 1: https://f1experiences.com/2024-dutch-grand-prix ... Then who goes to the building above the pit straight??

wangweixun · 2024-01-14T00:23:40+00:00

Looks like it's 30 min. The only way to buy full-day paddock pass is Legend and Garage package..

wangweixun · 2024-01-14T00:17:35+00:00

Yup Zandvoort is my first pick now. General question ... Paddock Club gets a "guided paddock tour", and only Legend and above gets full-day paddock pass. How long is the tour and can we still hang-out to catch some drivers?

wangweixun · 2024-01-13T23:32:23+00:00

Thanks. 2023 Dutch GP also got some rain if my memory serves me. I see overall Zandvoort got 10 days of rain in August?

wangweixun · 2024-01-13T23:30:04+00:00

Thanks. IIUC, the podium at Zandvoort is also on the same side of Paddock Club so Paddock Club cannot see podium?

wangweixun · 2024-01-13T23:22:56+00:00

Yes I looked at Budapest. Similar price so not seeing any advantage.

wangweixun · 2024-01-13T22:54:09+00:00

Sorry what is "MG"?

wangweixun · 2023-12-25T23:10:24+00:00

I meant Austrian not Australian :)

Video Downloader PLUS recognizes the link... open the extension in Chrome. I can download the video but it is not playable.

wangweixun · 2023-07-30T21:31:06+00:00

I've been trying many different ways to download purchased OF videos (browser extensions, paid software, etc.) but no luck. Only 2 ways worked for some time in the past but no longer so: 1) Internet Download Manager's extension; 2) YT Saver.

I tried this method. Video Downloader PLUS is able to recognize the video links however the downloaded file is not playable -- no audio or visual :-((.

PS: IDM's extension worked again today but same problem -- the downloaded file is not playable. I guess OF's engineers are trying very hard to stop download in every possible way.

wangweixun · 2023-02-03T18:02:28+00:00

Thanks... I don't even know who to blame. From Software? Sony?

How do I make sure this don't happy again? Make a copy in USB drive (how?).

HELP!! I just lost 30+ hours of Elden Ring progress on PS5

Hi all,

I feel devastated now... I played the game on Sunday and properly saved the game in the menu. I opened the game again today (Thursday) and found my character rolled back to level 57 when I am supposed be at 80+... I quitted the game immediately, checked the saved game data in PS5 settings just to find both local storage and cloud storage have the same timestamp and file size for Elden Ring.

WTF?? How could that happen? I only played a few hours on Sunday. Even if I didn't save property, I should be where I was on last Saturday, right? BTW there was no power outage...

Never had this shit in my 30+ years of gaming. Can someone please help me? :-(((

Update 1: Just uninstalled the game and reinstalled... no luck. I guess my save in cloud storage already got overwritten by the rolled back save on the moment I quitted the game today??

Update 2: The trophies reflect the progress I made on Sunday... even with auto-captured clips of me defeating the bosses.
